Dallas, Texas – A weak weather system is expected to bring light rain chances to parts of North and Central Texas late Monday night into Tuesday, with minimal impacts anticipated.
According to the National Weather Service Fort Worth, rain chances will increase late Monday evening and continue through much of Tuesday as the system moves east across the region. Rainfall totals are expected to remain low, generally below one-quarter inch, with no flooding concerns at this time.
Rain probabilities will range from 20 to 40 percent, highest across areas east of Interstate 35, including communities such as Dallas–Fort Worth, Canton, Palestine, and Paris. Western locations, including Graham, Cisco, and Breckenridge, may see more limited or brief rainfall.
Travel along major corridors including I-35, I-20, I-30, U.S. Highway 75, and I-14 could be affected by wet roads, particularly during early Tuesday commutes. However, forecasters note that rainfall rates are expected to be light, reducing the likelihood of significant delays.
Despite the rain chances, temperatures will remain above normal for early February. Overnight lows Monday night will generally fall into the 50s, while daytime highs on Tuesday are forecast to reach the upper 60s to mid-70s, especially across Central Texas. This mild pattern will help prevent any cold-weather or wintry concerns.
The National Weather Service emphasizes that this system is not expected to produce severe weather, lightning, or heavy downpours. Instead, the primary impacts will be periods of light rain and cloudy skies.
Rain chances are expected to taper off Tuesday night as the system exits the region, with quieter conditions returning afterward.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to remain aware of changing conditions, particularly during nighttime and early morning travel. While impacts should be limited, drivers should still use caution on slick roads.
